I was on the phone today with @alizasherman. Aliza is a brilliant marketer, creative, smart, humble–all qualities of an outstanding person. I had the pleasure of listening to her on a panel at #140conf in New York. Aliza’s company is Conversify.net.
We were talking about Parentella and brainstorming and exchanging ideas. Did I mention she is brilliant?
While I was engrossed in our conversation, my 2 year old returned from his pre-school with him usual, “Mommy, I am back!”. I went to another room so I could continue the phone call. It was a great call. Aliza and I talked about how to get the word out about Parentella, the types of things we should work on, etc.
After the call, I went outside to our backyard where my son was playing with a bucket of water, watering can, and a little cup. He submerged the watering can into the bucket and filled it up with water. He then filled the cup with the watering can. Eventually, he knocked over the cup of water. He was having so much fun doing this and I was reminded of the simple things in life! Our children teach us what matters most in our lives–on a daily basis.
Yes, predictably, he determined that he can skip the watering can. It is a very hot day and he had a good time playing with 3 buckets of water. 3 buckets of water is all it took for him to have a great time.
What are your kids up to this summer? Any fun ideas of simple things they can do?
